) Emotional Health – Being in nature improves your mental and emotional health. I want to protect the things that keep me happy.
2) Physical Health – Nature improves your physical health, too. Breathing in fresh air while going on a mountain hike will not only clear your head and body of pollutants and toxins, but it will boost your aerobic health and make you stronger.
3) Pollution Hurts Us – When the earth is dirty and polluted, we are essentially making ourselves more sick too. Research has shown that we can develop cancer, asthma, heart disease, and other chronic diseases from pollution.
4) A Healthy Earth = Healthy People – As aboriginal activist Bobby McLeod once said: “When the earth is sick and polluted, human health is impossible…. To heal ourselves we must heal our planet, and to heal our planet we must heal ourselves.”
5) Resources – We rely on nature for resources, food, and shelter — without it, we’d have nothing. Learning to conserve and protect this is vital for our own survival.
6) Rainforests – The earth naturally provides us with life-saving medicines, beautiful biodiversity, and healthy living. When we destroy rainforests, we’re depleting our own resources to save ourselves later on. This is just one of the many reasons why Tentree is paving the way to start rebuilding forests.
